This so called “Justice “ ..... he is a disgrace ! Of course there are Obama judges...

Lol liberal judge

Resign you’ve violated the confidence of the ppl and ethics of your position !

OBAMA judge another name for activist progressive judges!

Lil 2 late 2 speak up now B y'all all need 2 go asap

An opinion by one man, don’t get your hopes up fools

John Roberts is a loser.

Finally, a GOP has the courage to speak up to stupidity.

Trump followers live in a bubble.

John Roberts is a traitor, the “affordable health plan” now this. Now wonder trump can’t get a fair hearing.

If Roberts believes there's no difference between judges appointed by Obama or Clinton and judges appointed by Bush or Trump, he's delusional. The courts are currently more partisan than they've ever been. And it's happened on Roberts's watch.

Clown in chief thi kw US government is his hotel everyone has to haul to him.retardddd

John Roberts is wrong. Many judges are partisan and use their personal bias to rule. The Ninth Circuit often tries to legislate rather than follow established law and the constitution.

Roberts is Wrong.....

I think that a court in federal cases should be graded by the overruling's they have. Judge Roberts would not accept an attorney who is illprepared for his court. A district that is over rulled 75 to 80% is a court that is not prepared and are wasting the courts time & money

Justice Roberts is right. No politics, religion in the legal system. No religion in our politics! Our forefathers were very clear!

Hard to believe the Chief Justice is this naive. Unreal!

I guess he's never been a victim of legislating from the bench and not basing decisions on law.

be honest roberts dont blindly back political judges--you are a disgrace to Americans what did u say when ginsberg criticized Trump before election---you are plastic but a typical democrat

Trumps not bright. This man could be ruling on Trump when he gets Mueller Timed!

Roberts is sleeping, not Ginsberg! He is naive and grandstanding!!america should worry about him!!

Well JUSTICE John Roberts when news of drugs destroying Cities, Murders happening to our own at hands of emigrants and another poor soul loss to human trafficking YOU will be THOUGHT OF!!!!!!

Didn't Obama rebuke the 'Roberts Court'...in front of Congress & the entire world. CJ Roberts AND the 'Obama Judge' wrong in this instance.

The judge is a corrupt lair!

Ummmmm, does everyone remember Pres Obama rebuking Justice Alito during a State of The Union speech a few years ago? Why didn't the Chief speak out then?

He was gire.

Where there is Trump something is always happening.

Judge focus on protecting our borders with our LAWS...judge! and start protecting the UNBORN they have rights also!!!! USSupremeCourt

George and Jeb sure know how to pick losers.

fake news and fake judge are always hand in hand

wow .... thank you GeorgeWBush__ and this guy gave us obama care too .... 🤮 What a ‘conservative’ non biased judge we have .....

When will it end?

He should not so clearly expose his lack of common sense.

So where was the rebuke for Ginsburg? She ran her politics about Candidate Trump. And Sotomayor and Kagen are both left wing big government socialists. Don’t believe your lying eyes? Is that it? What nonsense!

Clearly there are partisan - left and right leaning - judges. You would be lying to say otherwise

Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha realDonaldTrump

Justice Roberts should have also criticized that old hag Justice Ginsberg for her unprecedented negative comments on a sitting President

Judges that become political / socialist /social justice warriors are no longer capable of being unbiased, ruling on law or the constitution. All grounds for their removal. RemoveTraitorJudges

Yeah you Forgot To Add.. George Soros Funded Judge..You Know The Political terrorists That's Wanted In Several Countries For Creating These Invasions That Destroys Nations.. Nice Pandering to The Uneducated CNN.. you Should Be Proud FactsMatter

Shut up John Roberts... where were you in the Obama years.

Merry go round of Trump BS, he walking a line with his false statements

Only way to fix this insanity is going to 60 votes on Supreme Court. I know senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC could care less about country. Just remember who has house majority. CNN please bring this up more

I’m Happy That our Justices Open their Mouth against Tyranny and Divisiveness, Trump Divides America and undermines our Justice systems, not only does he divides us, but when it favors him it is Okay to use the FBI. CIA,DOJ amongst another, Trump is Corrupt Period.

Get real Roberts you’re head in the clouds, we the people read and here about rulings a lot, and it’s obvious

God Bless You Chief Justice Roberts

it's about time someone puts him in his place

Roberts is wrong.... Judges are bias

Chief Justice John Roberts just showed us his hand. A very bad PRECEDENT

Justice Roberts is a HUGE LIAR ....AND HE KNOWS HE IS A LIAR. Every human on the face of GODS green earth is bias & not perfect. Roberts is a bold face liar. I hate self-righteous hypocrites like Roberts. He's the kind of guy who would correct your grammar in public. 😕😕

Independent Judiciary!! Please... This nation’s Judiciary is Politically Affiliated and Biased from the Local District all the way to the US Supreme Court... Roberts takes the American People as Fools...

Trump is actually correct, and Roberts is being disingenuous. Judges for the most part very much reflect partisan views. Why else Federalist Society vetting for Republican appointees!

Truth Hurts !!!!!

It is very extemporaneous for a judge to find it legal to cross the border illegally, to legalize what is illegal then to order the removal of the borders that are illegal for him.

In theory Chief Justice Roberts is correct. However unfortunately you have judges like those on the 9th circuit who have become political arms. True regarding both parties. Judges have to stay independent and rule in interpretation, not making, the law.

Yup 9th circuit is all liberal hacks and Roberts is a RINO. Obama gets to do exec order to make all illegal kids citizens yet trump cant make the border crossers seek fake assylum legally.

As a Canadian I believe your standards are very high ... bullies have none

In Dems minds these days, there are always Obama and non Obama judges. Look what they did to the last SC nominee. Roberts needs to check the reality.

It's not a black and white thing for this issue, it's if you speak upon anything or anyone, then speak truths. I commend Justice Roberts for standing in the TRUTH. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE 'TRIFLING TRUMPS'🙄

Good for him. Now Chief Justice stuart striking down some of the insane things tRUMP is trying to do undermine the constitution.

JusticeRoberts From middle America. Mr. Roberts. Watching our POTUS be hamstrung over again with the exact same partisan political liberal opinions! By the exact same notoriously partisan judges! Over POTUS constitutional rights! Makes America feel sabotaged

What a bunch of Socialist blowholes CNN employs as Anchors or pundits. Some of them should learn to speak English and the history of the USA before opening their foghorns on Media Networks

3 Equal Branches of government.

Where was Chief Justice when Obozo slammed the whole supreme court at his State of the Union Address because they ruled a way that Obozo did not like? Roberts sat there with his god dam mouth shut. Okay to politically bash the white guy but you can't pull that shit on a black guy

Good Old-Balls n’ Strikes Robert’s Busy busy ON VOTER SUPPRESSION & GERRYMANDERING!

Thanks for standing tall, Mr. Chief Justice. With the congressional Republicans cowering, the need for an independent judiciary is critical.

So now you guys will go on & on about how wonderful this is. Roberts is just blowing smoke. Take a look at his rulings & I’ll bet they are VERY CLOSE to 100% down party lines. He’s very much a collaborator in the slow coup that is occurring. Watch what they do NOT what they say.

Oh come on Chief Justice Roberts, if all justices were holy saints devoid of any political influences, then why the hell do judicial appointments involve political battles worthy of a WWF cage match? You lying 🐓 sucker.

THANK YOU Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts

'What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. ROFLMAO!! Does that include Gorsuch and Kavanaugh! Neither one deserves the sweat on my ass nor competent.

About time the Judiciary pushes back against the President’s attack against Judges and the rule of law

Puhleez. Roberts uses his position as a political weapon as well he's just still trying to pretend he's 'impartial'. Dark money has no place in our political system yet here we are spending more money on campaigns than helping the homeless which includes children!

Why do so many appeals go to the ninth district court? Hmm

He must live in a bubble. If that was true than why does the senate get so worked up over nominees from opposing party? Because they are Obama Judges and Bush Judges and Clinton judges.....GET REAL ROBERTS

To be continued?

Trump? I'm pretty sure Obama is the one completely out of line.

There is a reason that we have so many 5-4 decisions, with the same judges on each side all the time.

CNN the most trusted name in fake news

Why don't you stop moralizing? You sold your soul when you approved Obamacare even though they said it was not a tax. You are a revisionist which is not the same as a constitutional conservative who interprets it as it was meant to read!! You let Obama manipulate u. How sad.

Says the Judge that cast the vote that allowed ObamanationCare to exist probably because the Deep State has something on him. Now that same Judge gives more cover to the Deep State.

we need more people like that to stand up to Trump's non-sense

Fantastic somebody needs to speak up to that bully.

CNNPolitics cnni SenateGOP HouseGOP SenateDems HouseDemocrats Puzzled; how long/how bad does it has to be before “Republican” congress-persons start critizicing/disavowing this white-suppremacist extremist POTUS! He only cares about making his family rich again! 😬

Misty President's criticisms, of 'Obama' or other judges who don't give him the kind of rulings he wants, are extremely childish. This is how Crooked Donald measures up against Obama ...

Well let’s hope 7 out of the 9 agree Trump is not above the law and must follow the laws of the states and federal government.

Does the Trumptard realDonaldTrump know that the Supreme Court is about the law and not a political tool?

my family 'Dalle Zotte' and 'Freire' are not worth anything are very bad with me

Now, we wait to see if Trump with his thin, orange skin lashes out at the Chief Justice for his criticism. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. Trump is the Ace of ♠️ KnowYourDeplorables

Mr. President...do you not see the beginning of the death spiral of your administration? Even conservative leaders are finding your abrasive, juvenile outbursts too intolerable to remain quiet. Clearly the Trump Effect will see you gone in 2020...or sooner.

Con-Artist and MOB BOSS Donald trying to divide the JUSTICE SYSTEM!

I haven’t seen RudyGiuliani on TV for a while. Did they cancel his show? I think he’s funny and entertaining.

Chief Justice John Roberts. Now officially realDonaldTrump’s babysitter. MSNBC CNN

Watch trump ask chief justice roberts to resignthat's the real donaldtrump

great, now Can we get some Trump judges.

JOHN ROBERT YOU PLAY DANGEROUS GAME WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IN .AMERICA FOR LONG TIME

is it me, or are the wheels starting to come off the train

The truth is, these judges do behave like politicians. You can almost predict how they will rule.

The same Supreme Court Chief Justice who made the decision that Obama Care was a tax policy.

He will soon be hearing from realDonaldTrump

Take that Fucktards

The criminals that sold America out the the EU unelected globalists AKA Nazis /want to protect the garbage bin aka 9th Circuit Court /which has allowed them/ to get away with so much ... is the 9th circuit really that important? no! To criminals it's everything

It would be in the best interest of realDonaldTrump not to perturb any judges, if only for the sake of his eventual sentencing.

Roberts is right that it should be that way but it's obvious to many that the activist judges are ruining the judicary.

Why is he even adding his two cent to this issue? Why could he not keep his views to his self? Speaking out only gives the impression you have taken a side opposing the President for his views.

Good for you Chief Justice Roberts

Lifetime appointment Wannabe king.

The whole damn country is fed up with him. Get him the hell out of there. He will not be tolerated

Fake News False News Fabricated News Are Not The Truth We All Stand Against it.

Trump is the most hateful, ignorant person ever to occupy the Oval Office. It's time to eject him from that position, for the good of the world. MoronInChief

All talk no action.

RINO judge. Trump2020Landslide

Maybe the Republicans will learn something from the Chief Justice and maybe grow a pair!

It’s great he spoke out, but what he said isn’t necessarily true. Clarence Thomas? Meh. Kavanaugh is Trump plant.

Bought and paid for.

And the war has began while McConnell and Republicans remain quiet and allow this degradation and decay of our democracy by realDonaldTrump who is a subservient of a despotic Saudi Prince

How he could go against POTUS,shows has no loyalty. We need a strong Supreme Justice!

I appreciate the sentiment here that judges are impartial and not politically active. But if that's the case, why are Ninth Circuit decisions so often favorable to what the left wants, and why are they so often reversed?

Anti-American judges... they are the enemy of the people

Whatever...!!!!

Rare What happened to extraordinary?

HE. WROTE. THE. LETTER.

He's a Bush judge. Same thing

It was a Trump judge who forced Trump to give Jim Acosta his press pass back

Chief Justice John Roberts denounces Trump's criticism of a federal jurist as an 'Obama judge'In an exceedingly rare rebuke of a president by the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Wednesday chastised President Trump for attacking a California federal judge who ruled against his asylum policy as a partisan “Obama judge.” Could it be that his arrogance towards the Chief Justice stems from his confidence over having a sister as a federal judge? Is she giving him advices? I couldn’t be more pleased with DT’s irrelevant response to Roberts. Keep it up Dotard. Let’s turn Roberts into an adversary. You go Mr Roberts
